British International Research Institutes

We support a network of overseas research institutes that operate in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

The British Academy provides government funding to seven British International Research Institutes and has an association with the British Institute for the Study of Iraq. These institutes conduct research, collaborate with overseas and UK-based partners, and provide facilities, training and financial, academic and logistical support to researchers. They also run events programmes, held in the UK and overseas. All the research institutes operate as autonomous bodies.
